Poulenc Plays Poulenc CD

FROM MARQUIS: The Poulenc Trio brings together three uniquely gifted virtuosos: oboist Vladimir Lande, bassoonist Bryan Young, and pianist Irina Kaplan. Combining brilliant 21st-century vibrancy with the best of European instrumental tradition, the trio's performances leap beyond the ordinary, into a world of beautiful sonorities, playful rhythms and dramatic excitement. The ensemble's precision and versatility heighten the lyricism of Poulenc and the jazzy elegance of André Previn.

In a recent review, the Washington Post said the Poulenc Trio "does its namesake proud" in "an intriguing and beautifully played program" with "convincing elegance, near effortless lightness and grace."
